On Friday, Houthi rebels in Yemen launched a drone strike on Tel Aviv. The attack hit an apartment building in the city center, killing one man and wounding at least 10 others.
Israel says it's investigating how its defenses failed to prevent the strike, which deployed an Iranian-made drone. Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attack, saying the strike was in retaliation for Israel's war in Gaza. The Houthis are an Iranian-backed rebel group that controls several provinces in Yemen, and is aligned with Hamas and Hezbollah. This is the first deadly Houthi strike on Israeli territory.

Have Yemen's Houthis built a surface-to-air missile?
Houthi rebels in Yemen say they have developed a locally built surface-to-air missile.
Nearly three years on since a Saudi-led coalition began its military campaign, Yemenis continue to die. At least 11 people were killed in a Saudi air raid on Wednesday that targeted a market in northern Saada province.
That region is a stronghold of Houthi rebels who have been in control of much of the country since 2015. The fighting has killed at least 10,000 people and displaced millions more.
Just this week, Houthi rebels announced they had built a new locally designed missile to fight against the Saudi-led alliance. And now the rebels are threatening to block the Red Sea shipping lane if the coalition keeps pushing towards the western port city of Hudaida - which the Houthis control.

More than 10,000 people have been killed in the fighting and the United Nations says millions of people face shortages of food and clean water.
Diseases are another factor, especially cholera.
